NEW York, April 29.-As the
lawn tennis season approaches land
its advent is not far Off rackets are
taken from the secluded hooks
wherein they have reposed during
the past few months, clubs are
formed and lawns become the chief
agricultural study of our fashionable
young people. But more than all
else, what will be the fashionable
eostpme2 is the query lof the femi-
nine contingent players, and their
chief care is the preparation Of suita
BILE toilets for wear in the courts,
The modes SO far shown resemble
the suits Of last season, and the ma
terials in use also include the same
fabrics. The models are, however,
il anything prettier than those worn
in former years and they allow con-
siderable latitude Of choice.
One, which is sure to become ia
vorite, is made with the waist por-
ton somewhat Ikea Russian blouse,
of striped flannel, beneath which ap-
pears vest Of pure white, the
edges of the blouse being laced across
with a silken cord all the way up.
The skirt is of light blue flannel,
made up quite full and killed.
About the waist a wide sash is
drawn, tied on the left hip, the ends
hanging down on the side.
Other models show the Norfolk
jacket with variations upon it and
the sailors blouse. Many of these
dresses may be made 50 as to serve
as Yachting costumes.

A Craze for Ivory miniatures.

New York Mail and Express: A
young French artist in town is at
present supplying society with ivory
miniatures. aud although they come
exceedingly high, he is scarcely able
to keep up with the demand. Paint
ing on ivory, if not lost art, was,
until the present revival, almost
forgotten one, Such work requires
exact taste, abundance patience and
peculiar skill. The skill aud the
knowledge OF the art required OF
course died away with the falling off
Of demand, for the kind of work in
question. The cheapness and APP
parent value and permanenoy
Of photographs struck fatal
blow at the one time popu-
larlty OF ivory miniatures. But
with the lapse of years it has been
found that photographs are not per-
manent records, and people, besides,
have now more money and more
taste than when the photographs
took first place in the affections.
The Transparency and beauty OF
these miniatures are delight to the
eyes, but the commonplace buyer
with the commonplace pocketbook
is rather staggered with the informa-
ton that miniature three or four
inches square cost $500 to $500, The
artist referred to has just finished a
miniature OF Mrs. George Gould,
which is not only a good likeness,
but an exquisite picture in itself, a
craze for this sort Of thing in sooie-
ty is predicted

ClInging to a Pin.


One of the funniest incidents of any rail

always funny things that one remembers
about railroad disaster-was that of a man
who was on my train when it ran through a
misplaced switch at Riverside and collided
with freight train standing on the side

McDaniels, the engineer. saved his life by
jumping from his engine before it struck the
freight train. Andy McGlenn, the fireman,
was caught between the tank and the boiler
head of the engine, where he was held fast
alive, but with his legs both crushed and
cooked AS soon as the passengers found
that not one of them was hurt they swarmed
out and began helping to get poor Andy out
of his terrible prison. | noticed one passen-
ger who worked like hero, lifting and pull
ing and straining to get Andy out, yet all the
time using one hand as if it were crippled.
I noticed it several times, and paid good
deal more heed to it than you would expect
man to under such circumstances; but

Tolltng bucks with a Dog.


Tolling is plan in which the amount OF
game secured far exceeds the sport Fol-
tolling short blind, consisting of a row OF
bushes planted about ten feet from the wat
er's edge, a good dog, and some big guns,
with large charges of shot, are all that is
1ty to toiling blind the parties who are 60
ing to shoot take, up their position behind
the blind. A small pls.aful Chesapeake or
other dog that has been chained up IS let
loose between the blind and the water. A
corncob is tossed to him, which he retrieves,
and just as he gets to the front of the blind
another is tossed, and he is kept playing
around until he has attracted the attention
of the ducks. They soon grow interested in
the mannuvres of the dog and begin grad
ually to approach the shore. Their curiosity
increases and they will approach to within
a few feet of shore. Then the party who is
working the dog, if he understands his bust
ness, has them at his control. BY manipu-
lating the dog and playing him first up be
yond the blind and then down, he can SO
mannuvre the ducks, which are swimming
up and down as the dog is worked, as to
bring them directly in front of the shooters
in solid body. At given signal the party,
usually numbering from three to six men,
shoot the ducks in the water, often bagging
from twenty-five to seventy-fve ducks at a
round. The ducks are shot in the head and
neck The curiosity of ducks is great, and
female over the male is as usual with the
sex generally Out of toll made on the
Gunpowder river last season 81 per cent. of
the ducks killed were females.

Bully BOY with a Glass Eye.


tall, lean Indian who passed through
Chicago some time ago ON his way back to
the reservation from visit to Washington
attracted a great deal of attention by his
weird and unearthly appearance He was
a swarthy fellow, with black hair and large
black eye, but the other eye was glass, a
bright blue, and gazed into vacancy with a
cold, cerulean stare that was strange to be-
hold. The Indian seemed proud of his dis
similar eyes, and he was looked up to with
great respect and awe by the other savages
with him. His appearance was explained by
an army officer who was in town last week
He also has only one good eye, but the
artificial organ looks natural andhealthy
One day at the war Office he tooE out the
game eye, after the manner of men who own
them, and wiping it off, slipped it back care
lessly into the socket. The Indian saw the
performance, and was much struck by it,
He asked the officer if he could see with the
glass eye, and the officer facetiously told him
he could. "Gimme one," said the Indian,
and the army man went into his trunk,
where he kept supply, and produced one.
The Indian jarlmed it into the place where
his natural eye used to be, and then stalked
away like an apparition from the lower re-
gions. He never once thought of taking the
eye out once he had it in, and he stoutly main
tanned that he could sea with it as well as with
the other.

BRIDGING THE EAST RIVER.

L
When the stupendous Brooklyn bridge was
built it was not supposed that another
Brooklyn bridge would be needed soon. But
already there is a demand for another. The
late Willism G. Kingsley of Brooklyn, who
| thoroughly studied the matter, gave it as his
| opinion that the present bridge could safely
be crossed SO, 900, 900 times in year. The
record last year shows that it was crossed
| 81, 500, 900 times during the year. At the
present rate of increase the limit will be
reached before 1885,
The people of Brooklyn are making them
selves heard in this matter. The Citizen de-
clares that s'the time is at hand when the
bridge trustees will have to give their best
thought to the problem of doubling the rail-
road facilities of the bridge" and when also
''it will be in order to duplicate the struc-
ture for the accommodation of the eastern
district The New York Sun sympathizes
with this and says: A single bridge between
New York and Brooklyn meets only a small
part of the needs of travel; and the better it
serves the convenience of those SO stu ated
that they can make daily use of it's facilities,
the more dissatisfied 8 the inhabitants of
portions of Brooklyn with which it does not
connect. They feel that it is unfair to tax
them for the maintenance of a bridge over
which they cannot travel, and which draws
population from them and SO Injuries their
business interests. The connection with
New York which they want is at points
where the travel is naturally large and
where, with greater facilities, it is sure to
increase rapidly.
The New York Star joins in the demand
for another bridge, but thinks that what is
needed first and most is free passage over the
present bridge. It says: Senator Murphy's
bill to make it free to foot passengers is right
enough. Commerce should be as free as
travel. The vehicles that cross the bridge
are not only those of pleasure seekers or large
manufacturers. The wagons and carts of
tradesmen and the smaller industries are
constant customers. Our platform is simple.
The roadway over the span that connects
New York and Brooklyn should be as free as
any street in either city.
All this is significant of what is to come.
The great cities of New York and Brooklyn
will have what they want in the way of
bridges between the two. The first one was
a daring scheme. The second one will be
almost a matter of course
